You should listen to the podcast “Stuff you Should Know” episode on Wikipedia called “The Big Episode on Wikipedia”.

Wikipedia doesn’t really quite work like you stated, and especially the huge topics like this, they tend to be more factual, detailed, accurate, and researched than even long established encyclopedias.

But the reason the drow are evil is primarily because of the Spider god Lolth, not because they’re Drow. Drow free from Lolth aren’t necessarily evil.

Tryp BazziteOS next instead of Pop. It’s a Linux OS that’s designed for gaming and comes with all drivers, emulators, proton, etc out of the box. Also based on Fedora, which in my experience does better in the gaming department.

Kodi / Libreelec are in the same vein as Android TV. There extremely neutered operating systems that can basically only do that one thing, so if they failed at it, well…

You can really edit documents, run YouTube with a decent UI, possibly use sponsor block, can’t do video game streaming.

Actually, I take it back, Kodi etc are more limited than Android TV on the Pi, since at least that supports Steam Link and Moonlight streaming.

So yeah, like Android, it can play the video. But it can do anything else like if I were to run any actual distro.

I didn’t know VLC worked with IPTV. I’m guessing through plug in?

VLC was giving me issues too when playing video as well though, but only on some distros

That’s extremely useful to know about yt-dlp.

I’ve only ever used it to download videos permanently fire offline viewing when traveling. I never knew it could work as a temp cache as well.

I’ll probably make a comment linking comments here with good solutions soon.

Ask that’s left is to figure out a decent IPTV program. Really liked Hypnotix but it seems it’s just too much for the Pi

Moonlight is for game streaming. Basically if you want to run anything newer than an N64 on a Pi, you can stream it with moonlight from a more powerful computer. It’s easy on local network, but can take a little bit more know how to set up for remote play (looked like if you want to play something on your phone away from home for example).

Very useful, I’ll try this too.

Question though - I thought yt-dlp downloaded videos?

And can sponsor block be integrated into this in any way?

Will try too

Ah yes, the programmer curve.

That I noticed that Raspberry Pi OS had as well built in.

Does Falkon need it since it’s Chromium based? How well will Falkon fare against ads with Manifest V3?

Anything can at least once

So something like a Banana Pi wouldn’t have this issue?

External video card would probably work well now that you mention it. But at that point, for what I want to use it for, I might as well do an Intel Mini PC since it would use less power.

But good project idea if I ever want to set up a Minecraft server.

Yes, but OSMC can’t run moonlight or edit certain typed documents as far as I know

You think it’s bad now? Wait until ChatGPT is the one coding things.

Modern hardware allows for bloat, and so bloat is made. Add in a huge helping of tracking everything you do, and you get a shit pi.

Now repeat but also mess up the code some more.

Behold: the true Web 3.0

Sure thing. Let me know if you get better results using oranges rather than raspberries.
